Improving the Efficiency of Device for

Low to Medium Capacity Tests Atmosphere Tests

Instruments are available for tensile,
It is important to control the temperature and humidity conditions when testing materials compression, and bending tests
performed in environments not at
affected by these conditions. Shimadzu offers a variety atmospheric control testing machines, normal temperatures, including
including refrigerator and gas injection types, to suit the objective. Additionally, the AGX-V2’s everything from low-temperature to
high-temperature environments.
high-speed return function reduces the standby time during long stroke tests, shortening the
test cycle time. Combining switch-operated grips and automatic extensometers further
reduces the cycle time.

SIE Automatic Extensometer SIE-560A/560SA
This extensometer is equipped with various automatic functions. It
automatically detects the grip positions, and moves the elongation
measurement arm to a point between the grips. It releases from the sample
automatically when the test is finished and returns to the default position,
so after attaching the sample, the operator can entrust all the operations
to the testing machine, which functions semi-automatically. The lineup also
includes a high-accuracy type with a measurement accuracy of ±1 µm.

PFG Pneumatic Flat Grips
With these grips, a foot switch and an interlocked air chuck unit that
starts testing automatically after the sample is gripped are selectable.
The grips can maintain a stable force even when gripping soft samples
that change thickness at the gripped part during testing.

SG Series Strain Gauge TRViewX Video Type
Type Extensometer Non-Contact Extensometer

This is widely used as a manual This is a high-accuracy
extensometer. Various types are non-contact extensometer that
available depending on the need, measures the sample strain from
including conformity with grades in captured images. It can
ISO, JIS, ASTM, and other standards, accommodate everything from
gauge lengths, and tests under general materials to films that a
high-temperature conditions.
contact extensometer cannot be
attached to directly.

Bending Deflection Gauge
This deflection gauge for bending tests conforms with ISO 178 and
JIS K7171. The displacement gauge is pressed against the lower
surface of the sample. The indentation depth on the sample during
testing is then measured with high accuracy.
The gauge is equipped with a mechanism that cancels the force
used to press the displacement gauge, so it has no effect on the test
force measurement.
